Cheat Fate

Small café in a backstreet grease-stained silverware

There's a crack in my coffee cup uneven legs on my chair

Drank my fourth cup of coffee smoked my last cigarette

Thought about the good times about the first time we met

Where and when there and then

Hearts break hard to shake like they never end

Took my phone from my pocket checked on the time

Gearing up for the phone call rehearsing my lines

A guy said you didn't live there and did I know it was 2am

But he knew the voice was mine 'cos it happens all the time

And he knows it's gonna happen again
